ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Luxembourg's Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Jean Asselborn was given a tour around Erbil's main bazaar on Wednesday following his meetings with Kurdistan Region officials. 

The European diplomat was accompanied by Erbil Governor Omed Khoshnaw, Head of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Foreign Relations Department Safeen Dizayee, and a number of other Kurdish officials. 

The first stop for Asselborn was the capital's ancient Erbil Citadel, reputed to be 6,000-years-old and the longest continuously inhabited settlement in the world. The Kurdistan Region's international partners partially fund ongoing renovation efforts at the historic site. 

Before visiting a tea house along with his delegation, the minister was briefed by the head of the citadel's renovation efforts on the latest progress. 

Asselborn arrived in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Tuesday, where he had begun his diplomatic tour to the country. He also met with the Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani and the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Masoud Barzani. 

He condemned the recent Iranian missile attack on Erbil, according to Luxembourg's foreign ministry.
